THOMAS HALL, or BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.

cononn'rn s'rn'ncrunn- Be it known that I, TnoMAs HALL, a citizen of the United States, residin in Brooklyn, county of Kings, State. of llew York, have invented a new and Improved Form of Concrete Structure; Such as Dwelling- Houses, &c.

My invention relates to concrete structures, such as dwelling houses and the like,

and consists primarily of a structure composed of monollthlc wall'sect1ons or units of peculiar shape, formed of cement or com 'crete, and adapted to be joined together to form the walls of a buildin in conjunction with plates, also formed 0 cement or concrete, that are ada ted to connect said wall sections and bind t 1e same together.

Other minor novel details of construction are embodied in my improved structure, as will be hereinafter more particularly ointed out and claimed, reference being bad to the accompanying drawin in which Figure 1 is a detai sectional plan view showing. several wall sections or units joined. Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation showing the elements combined to form a two story structure. Fig. 3 is an elevation of a portion of the side of a house embodying my invention. Fig. 4 is a horizontal section illustrating one corner of a building and showing one room complete.

Like letters of reference denote corre-, spondingparts in .the several views.

In the said drawing the reference letters A indicate my improved wall sections, the same being formed angular or L 'sha ed, and embodying a wall member and an a utment membcr,'as best seen in Figs. 1 and fl. These sections are preferably .of .a length equal-to the height of one story of the building, and along their edges that abut against adjacent sections 1 provide grooves A, into which-- cement may be poured to unite saidsections. Facing-thc-cdges oi. the abutment members}, are strips of wood A", secured thereto by bolts A I At the base of the structure I provide suitable foundation plates B, formed ot cement or concrete, and grooved to receive and position the lower ends of the sections A. At'

each floor and at the roof of. the structure I provide the cement or concrete plates C lying intermediate the sections 'A, an grooved to receive their ends, and further Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed. November 4, 1908. Serial No. 461,06b.

grooved to receive the metal reinforcing Patented J uly 5, 1910.

rods C, embedded in concrete or cement therein, as shown.

At D areshown'doors, and at W windows in the structure, the sections A at these points being short sections, as shown.

At E l. have shown one of the reinforced concrete beams: forming the support for the floor F, the latter being formed of concrete or other suitable material, while at R is shown the roof, and at G a balustrade at the edge of said roof.

By referring to Fig. 4 it will be seen that the abutment members of the sections A-conjointly form pockets A in the inner face of the wall, which'may be provided with doors A hinged to the strips A, and thus form closets, flue spaces or other wall spaces. The wooden. strips A ma also be used to fasten thereto plaster boar( The metal reinforcing rods C in the plates C may be extended entirely around the structure, thus'afiording a hoop-like binding for the walls.

Having thus described my invention, what i I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1; In a building constructioih' 'aifseries of vertically disposed wall sections formed with integral inw'rirzrdl projecting members, a pair of such em ers forming the sides of a compartment within the wall line, and "a series of horizontally disposed plates uniting said wall sections at top and bottom. 4

2. In a buildin r construction, a series of vertically dispose wall sections formed with inwardly ro ectin members, a pair of such members ormin t 1e sides of a compartment within the wall Iin disposed plates uniting said wall sections at top and bottom, and strips of wjood'secured to the ed es of said inwardly projecting members. .f

3. ,In a 'buildin construction, a seriesiof vertically disposed wall sections formedgjw'ith integral inwardly proj ecting members, pair of such members forming the sides of a, come, a series of horizontally partment with-in the. wallline, a series. of"v orizontally disposed plates unitin said wall sections, and continuous .rein orcing rods lying in rooves in said plates and extending; entirely around the structure.
